A man has been diagnosed with a Netflix addiction¹ after spending eight hours a day over the past six months binge watching shows.

一名男子因为持续六个月每天花八小时追奈飞剧而患上“奈飞瘾”。

The unnamed 26-year-old closed himself off from reality to escape into the action on the screen in front of him, according to local media.

据当地媒体透露，这名不愿透露姓名的男子今年26岁，他把自己锁起来，和现实隔绝，钻入屏幕中的剧里。

And psychology² professor Manoj Kumar Sharma said that the man was spending at least eight hours a day watching Netflix because it made him "feel good".

心理学教授马诺·库马尔·夏尔马说，该男子每天至少花八小时追剧，这让他“很快乐”。

He has been receiving counselling at a special facility called Service for Healthy Use of Technology (Shut) in a bid to kick his compulsive need to 'escape reality'.

这名男子也一直在健康使用科技服务中心接受咨询，努力纠正自己“逃避现实”的强迫症。

Prof Sharma said the man's addiction was a "form of escapism" he used whenever he was pressured into finding a job by family members or felt jealous about his friends appearing to do well in life.

夏尔马教授说他的剧瘾来自于“一种形式的逃避”，家里人一催他找工作，或者身边的朋友生活很成功时他就会感到压力，进而选择“逃避”。

The first thing he did at the start of each day was put the TV on lose himself in scripted entertainment.

最开始只是每天看电视娱乐一下。

According to the Shut clinic, the young man soon found himself unable to develop any form of self-discipline and he suffered from lethargy, eye strain and deprived sleep.

据服务中心介绍，慢慢这名男子就发现自己无法自律，变得非常无力、眼睛很难受、无法入眠。

Experts have assigned him a therapy plan that includes relaxation³ activities, exercise and career guidance.

专家给出了康复建议，包括一些放松的活动、锻炼和职业规划。

Counsellors have also reportedly noticed that schoolchildren are developing unhealthy habits with TV and electrical devices which are affecting their academic results.

同时，专家也注意到学生也开始养成不良的看电视习惯，也开始不正确地使用电子设备，学习成绩因此受到影响。
